lots of condensation muck at bottom of dipstick and zero oil.
added 1 litre and few pints of fresh fuel and ran for twenty mins until settled down ,
even the exhaust hole noise it ran quietly phew
BUT ,, drivers door still held shut by string due to me dropping striker pin back plate into pillar.
looking at various pictures its the door card to come off, boooo its soooo brittle..
but will have to wait until warmer before moving plastic , snappit dammit regretit.
thanks to all those images of bare shell refurbs it shows from inside where striker pin would be and yes phew it has hopefully settled into cavity.

pretty simple dude… unscrew the rear window winder - pop off the plastic from the centre (quite tricky but pull the outers of the round bit handle sides [|o|] if you know what i mean) which will show a pozi screw, take this off & the bezel… pop the rear door card gently & take out top upwards, from the seatbelt cover & you see the shell with the rear speaker too… put your hand in & have a feel about!ÂÂ then do the reverse to put your door card back on. SimplesÂ
 p.s. don't forget which angle your handle was facing before putting it back on. 15 minutes job done.
And don't forget to get really OCD and line up the handle with the other side

So true mate! Have you got the actual cabriolet one, or are you cutting a tintop down? Cause you can add a few zeros next to the 5 for getting the angle right on the tin top ones!

Visited my cabby, and took a charged battery to start her up.
primed and started first time. phew.
lots of condensation muck at bottom of dipstick and zero oil.
added 1 litre and few pints of fresh fuel and ran for twenty mins until settled down ,
even the exhaust hole noise it ran quietly phew
BUT ,, drivers door still held shut by string due to me dropping striker pin back plate into pillar.
looking at various pictures its the door card to come off, boooo its soooo brittle..
but will have to wait until warmer before moving plastic , snappit dammit regretit.
thanks to all those images of bare shell refurbs it shows from inside where striker pin would be and yes phew it has hopefully settled into cavity.
pretty simple dude… unscrew the rear window winder - pop off the plastic from the centre (quite tricky but pull the outers of the round bit handle sides [|o|] if you know what i mean) which will show a pozi screw, take this off & the bezel… pop the rear door card gently & take out top upwards, from the seatbelt cover & you see the shell with the rear speaker too… put your hand in & have a feel about!then do the reverse to put your door card back on. SimplesÂ
 p.s. don't forget which angle your handle was facing before putting it back on. 15 minutes job done.
Big thanks.

Ã, p.s. don't forget which angle your handle was facing before putting it back on. 15 minutes job done.
And don't forget to get really OCD and line up the handle with the other side![]()
I do remember getting in one as a kid and being warned to keep clear to prevent snapping/straining it and not to catch seat belt on it. Ahh memories.
Now where did I put that lottery ticket ?????
What's next?

So true mate! Have you got the actual cabriolet one, or are you cutting a tintop down? Cause you can add a few zeros next to the 5 for getting the angle right on the tin top ones!
